Let's suppose you are an accounts payable clerk for a small home‐improvements contractor. This morning one of the site supervisors submitted an invoice requesting immediate payment to a new vendor for items he claims were delivered directly to a work site. The supervisor attached a note to the invoice asking that the check be returned to him upon issuance so that he could personally deliver it to the vendor. This would ensure the timeliness of future deliveries. He claims that unless the payment is made immediately, there will be delivery delays on items needed to complete this job, as well as delays on items for another contract in progress. Although you are suspicious of this unusual request, you are tempted to accommodate it. You know that timely completion and collection on these contracts is critical to the company's production scheduling and cash management. Moreover, the company president is on vacation and therefore not available to grant special authorization for this payment.…

- You are conducting an audit on your client's revenue cycle for the 2019 financial year. Your client is a medical device distributor company. There are sales in large numbers from clients to customers. The sale was shipped on 27 December 2019 and only arrived at the customer's warehouse on 3 January 2020. The client records the sale as a sale in 2019. What audit evidence do you need to ensure cut off transactions are posted in the correct period?arrow_forwardCopy Corporation entered into a lease agreement for 25 photocopy machines for its corporate headquarters. The lease agreement qualifies as an operating lease in all ways except that there is a bargain purchase option. After the four-year lease term, the corporation can purchase each copier for $1,200, when the anticipated market value of each machine will be $3,600. Glenn Beckirtt, one of the chief accountants, thinks the financial statements must recognize the lease agreement as a finance (capital) lease because of the bargain purchase clause. One of the head accountants, Tara Kobban, disagrees: “Although I don’t know much about the copiers themselves, there is a way to avoid recording the lease liability.” She argues that the corporation might claim that copier technology advances rapidly and that by the end of the lease term – four years in the future – the machines will most likely not be worth the $1,200 bargain price.
